One question I would ask Peter Kraft is whether he thinks it is immoral to withhold newly discovered health information related to a participant in a study. While it may be important for that person's health, scientists might be reluctant to inform the participant in the study because they do not want to interfere with the results of the study. How would you draw the line for when study participants should be informed? Is it when the health information is urgent and needs to be acted upon immediately, or when something very important that might not be detrimental in the short term but poses great risk in the long term is discovered?

Darn good question. @pkraft0 — do you have thoughts you’d like to share on that?
